    AbstractAtrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia worldwide, with an individual lifetime risk of approximately 37% in the United States. Broadly defined as a supraventricular tachyarrhythmia with disorganized atrial activation, AF results in an increased risk of stroke, heart failure, valvular heart disease, and impaired quality of life, and confers a significant burden on the health of individuals and society. AF in the perioperative setting is common and a significant source of perioperative morbidity and mortality worldwide. The latest iteration of the European Society of Cardiology AF guidelines published in 2020 provide the clinician a valuable road map for the management of this arrythmia. This expert review will comprehensively analyze the 2020 European Society of Cardiology guidelines and provide perioperative management tools for the clinician.Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Inc.
